Scenes are in private beta. See Scenes to request access.
A table brings rows of data into your show: scores, headlines, schedules, prices, names. Layers show a table’s values, and when the data changes, the stream updates on its own.

​
Kinds of table

​
Connect a Google Sheet

1

Share the sheet

In Google Sheets, click Share and set General access to Anyone with the link as a Viewer. Make sure the first row holds the column names.
2

Add the table

In the studio’s Sources & layers, click Add source and pick Google Sheets. Paste the Sheet URL, and pick the Tab if the sheet has several.
3

Pick how often it refreshes

Under Refresh, choose how often Streamloop reads the sheet, such as every 30 seconds.
4

Show it in a frame

Bind a layer to the table: a text layer can show one cell, and a list or grid can repeat for every row. The AI assistant can do this for you.
5

Publish

Publish the scene. From then on, edits in the sheet reach the stream at the next refresh.

​
Use a JSON feed or web page

For a JSON feed, enter the URL and how often to check it. For Web page data, enter the page URL and a CSS selector: each element it matches becomes a row. Both must be public http:// or https:// addresses. If the feed needs a key, add it under Headers (for example Authorization: Bearer …) or in the URL.

​
Keep keys secret

A key you type into a table’s headers or URL (like ?api_key=…) is saved as a secret of the scene. The table keeps only the secret’s name, so the key:
  • is never part of the show or its published versions,
  • is never shown again, to you or your teammates, and
  • is never seen by the AI assistant.
To change a key, type it again. A changed key reaches the running stream the next time you publish. Streamloop refuses to publish a show that has a raw key in a header like Authorization instead of a secret.

​
Update data while live

You don’t have to wait for a refresh. In the Live panel, Send to air pushes a table’s current rows to the running show at once. See Show control.
